About Peter

Peter is a striking young German Shepherd/Husky mix with a flash of Terrier—noticeable in his attitude and spark. He’s between one and three years old, and his short, white-and-cream coat is soft as it looks. Peter was born in March 2023 and found with his mother and littermates out in a field. He’s sturdy, social, and carries his survivor’s heart front and center. He’s neutered, fully vaccinated, and house trained, so the hard work is mostly done. Peter connects deeply with his people, and he’s happiest either getting affection from the family or roughhousing with other dogs his size. He gets along well with kids, thrives on attention, and has shown he can be a playful, loyal friend. With dogs, he’s friendly, but no cats—he’s too much for them. Peter has energy to burn. He’ll only do well in an active home with a minimum 6-foot fenced yard, and daily chance to stretch his legs. He still needs leash work—right now he pulls, so whoever brings him home should be ready to continue positive, steady training. He’s sharp and picks up the basics quickly when shown structure and clear boundaries. This is a dog who loves adventure and is ready for a home that can give him both affection and activity. Peter will reward the right family with total loyalty and a whole lot of fun. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
